Saturday started slow with low cloud taking its time to burn off. But it wasn’t too long before we got going and what a beaut day it turned out to be. Lots of fun jumpers got stuck into it and did their thing. Our only Tandem for the day was Debra Bone.  Two new students started the 1st Jump Course. Eli Vincent and Rieche Very both did their Stage 1. There was lots of action happening.
